Parmese Riformisti

The Riformisti was a liberal faction in the Duchy of Parma that existed in the mid-nineteenth century. The faction supported the goal of, through the accumulation of reforms, creating a constitutional monarchy in which the people would be ensured their rights to life, liberty, and property. The Riformisti advocated greater economic freedoms, religious freedom, more citizenship rights (although limited), and decreased military spending, focusing less on the strength of the nation' foreign policy and more on the rights of man. The faction disbanded in 1859 after Italy annexed Parma.
